Hopi Prophecy

The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a "Kachina" removes his mask du
ring a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children [the general public]. For
a while there will be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then Oraibi will be rej
uvenated with its faith and ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of Hopi
life.
World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the
divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islami
c Nations, Africa.)
The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioa
ctivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to whic
h refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic peo
ple who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already ar
e in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil. Those who take no
part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to resume life in ano
ther world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brother
s."
The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters wi
ll be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one
nation under one power, that of the Creator."
That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina d
ances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and
yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon. The time is foretold by a so
ng sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War
I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption, a
nd hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the same evils spre
ading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the Wuwuchim ceremo
ny.
The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humbl
e people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. "You can read this in
the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to spring up a
s seeds [as described in SW-II, Effects and Coming Events # 1]. This could start
a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The same kinds o
f seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds of seeds are being
planted in our hearts. All these are the same, depending how you look at them.
That is what makes the Emergence to the next, Fifth World.
"These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with
the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous worlds on which we lived, th
e present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and t
he world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang."
The Hopi and others who were saved from the Great Flood made a sacred covenant w
ith the Great Spirit never to turn away from him. He made a set of sacred stone
tablets, called Tiponi, into which he breathed his teachings, prophecies, and wa
rnings. Before the Great Spirit hid himself again, he placed before the leaders
of the four different racial groups four different colors and sizes of corn; eac
h was to choose which would be their food in this world. The Hopi waited until l
ast and picked the smallest ear of corn. At this, the Great Spirit said:
"It is well done.
ions in which are
ligence; for this
Tiponi, symbol of

You have obtained the real corn, for all the others are imitat
hidden seeds of different plants. You have shown me your intel
reason I will place in your hands these sacred stone tablets,
power and authority over all land and life to guard, protect,

and hold in trust for me until I shall return to you in a later day, for I am th
e First and I am the Last."
The Great Chieftain of the Bow Clan led the faithful ones to this new land, but
he fell into evil ways. His two sons scolded him for his mistake, and after he d
ied they assumed the responsibilities of leadership. Each brother was given a se
t of Tiponi, and both were instructed to carry them to a place to which the Grea
t Spirit directed them. The elder brother [of the shining light] was told to go
immediately to the east, toward the rising sun, and upon reaching his destinatio
n to start back immediately to look for his younger brother, who remained on Tur
tle Island [the Continental United States of America]. His mission was to help h
is younger brother to bring about the Purification Day, at which time all evildo
ers would be punished or destroyed, after which real peace, brotherhood, and eve
rlasting life would be established. The elder brother would restore all land to
his younger brother, from whom the Evil one among the white men had taken it. Th
e elder brother [of the shining light] also would come to look for the Tiponi ta
blets and fulfill the mission given him by the Great Spirit.
The younger brother was instructed to travel throughout the land and mark his fo
otsteps as he went about. Both brothers were told that a great white star would
appear in the sky; when that happened, all people would know that the elder brot
her had reached his destination. Thereupon all people were to settle wherever th
ey happened to be at that time, there to remain until the elder brother returned
.
The Hopi settled in the area now known as Four Corners, where the state lines of
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet. They lived in humble simplicity an
d the land produced abundant crops. This area is the "heart" of Turtle Island [t
he U.S.] and of Mother Earth, and it is the microcosmic image of the macrocosm o
f the entire planet. Each Hopi clan perpetuates a unique ceremony, and the cerem
onies together maintain the balance of natural forces of sunlight, rain and wind
s, and reaffirm the Hopi respect for all life and trust in the Great Spirit.
The Hopi were told that after a time White Men would come and take their land an
d try to lead the Hopi into evil ways. But in spite of all the pressures against
them, the Hopi were told they must hold to their ancient religion and their lan
d, though always without violence. If they succeeded, they were promised that th
eir people and their land would be a center from which the True Spirit would be
reawakened.
It is said that after many years the elder brother might change the color of his
skin, but his hair will remain black. He will have the ability to write, and he
will be the only person able to read the Tiponi. When he returns to find his yo
unger brother, the Tiponi will be placed side by side to show all the world that
they are true brothers. Then great judgment will take place, for the elder will
help the younger brother to obtain real justice for all Indian brothers who hav
e been cruelly mistreated by the white man since he came to Turtle Island.
The transformed elder brother, the True White Brother, will wear a red cloak or
a red cap, similar to the pattern on the back of a horned toad. He will bring no
religion but his own, and will bring with him the Tiponi tablets. He will be al
l-powerful; none will be able to stand against him. He will come swiftly, and in
one day gain control of this entire continent. It is said, "If he comes from th
e East, the destruction will not be so bad. But if he comes from the West, do no
t get up on your housetops to see because he will have no mercy."
The True White Brother will bring with him two great, intelligent and powerful h
elpers, one of whom will have a sign of a swastika (a masculine symbol of purity
), and the sign of the sun. The second great helper will have the sign of a celt
ic cross with red lines (representing female life blood) between the arms of the

cross.
When the Great Purification is near, these helpers will shake the earth first fo
r a short time in preparation. After they shake the earth two times more, they w
ill be joined by the True White Brother, who will become one with them and bring
the Purification Day to the world. All three will help the "younger brother" (t
he Hopi and other pure-hearted people) to make a better world. In the prophecies
, the two helpers are designated by the Hopi word for "population," as if they w
ere large groups of people.
The Hopi were warned that if these three great beings failed, terrible evil woul
d befall the world and great numbers of people would be killed. However, it was
said that they would succeed if enough Hopi remained true to the ancient spirit
of their people. The True White Brother and his helpers will show the people of
earth a great new life plan that will lead to everlasting life. The earth will b
ecome new and beautiful again, with an abundance of life and food. Those who are
saved will share everything equally. All races will intermarry and speak one to
ngue and be a family.
Hopi prophecy states that World War III will be started by the people who first
received the Light -- China, Palestine, India and Africa. When the war comes, th
e United States will be destroyed by "gourds of ashes" which will fall to the gr
ound, boiling the rivers and burning the earth, where no grass will grow for man
y years, and causing a disease that no medicine can cure. This can only mean nuc
lear or atomic bombs; no other weapon causes such effects. Bomb shelters will be
useless, for "Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the Great S
helter of Life. There is no shelter for evil. When the Saquahuh (blue Star) Kach
ina dances in the plaza and removes his mask, the time of the great trial will b
e here." The Hopi believe that only they will be saved.
The Hopi also have prophesied that "Turtle Island could turn over two or three t
imes and the oceans could join hands and meet the sky." This seems to be a proph
ecy of a "pole shift" -- a flipping, of the planet on its axis. The Hopi call th
is imminent condition -- and that of society today -- "Koyaanisqatsi", which mea
ns "world out of balance...a state of life that calls for another way. "
The following extraordinary Hopi prophecy was first published in a mimeographed
manuscript that circulated among several Methodist and Presbyterian churches in
1959. Some of the prophecies were published in 1963 by Frank Waters in The Book
of the Hopi. The account begins by describing how, while driving along a desert
highway one hot day in the summer of 1958, a minister named David Young stopped
to offer a ride to an Indian elder, who accepted with a nod. After riding in sil
ence for several minutes, the Indian said:
"I am White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear Clan. In my long life I have tra
veled through this land, seeking out my brothers, and learning from them many th
ings full of wisdom. I have followed the sacred paths of my people, who inhabit
the forests and many lakes in the east, the land of ice and long nights in the n
orth, and the places of holy altars of stone built many years ago by my brothers
' fathers in the south. From all these I have heard the stories of the past, and
the prophecies of the future. Today, many of the prophecies have turned to stor
ies, and few are left -- the past grows longer, and the future grows shorter.
"And now White Feather is dying. His sons have all joined his ancestors, and soo
n he too shall be with them. But there is no one left, no one to recite and pass
on the ancient wisdom. My people have tired of the old ways -- the great ceremo
nies that tell of our origins, of our emergence into the Fourth World, are almos
t all abandoned, forgotten, yet even this has been foretold. The time grows shor
t.

"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our
brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are cru
el and greedy. we were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.
"He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet
now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as o
ur True White Brother.
"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elder
s everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are
left.
"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, lik
e Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs.
And men who struck their enemies with thunder.
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels fille
d with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes
-- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horn
s, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes
-- the coming of the white men's cattle."
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web
."
"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone th
at make pictures in the sun."
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many livi
ng things dying because of it."
"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like
my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.
"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the h
eavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a
blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to a
nd fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with th
ose who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke
and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not f
ar from here. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying. Many o
f my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and liv
e in the places of my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebu
ild. And soon -- very soon afterward -- Pahana will return. He shall bring with
him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their
hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the
Emergence into the Fifth World.
"But White Feather shall not see it. I am old and dying. You -- perhaps will see
it. In time, in time..."
The old Indian fell silent. They had arrived at his destination, and Reverend Da
vid Young stopped to let him out of the car. They never met again. Reverend Youn
g died in 1976, so he did not live to see the further fulfillment of this remark

able prophecy.
The signs are interpreted as follows: The First Sign is of guns. The Second Sign
is of the pioneers' covered wagons. The Third Sign is of longhorn cattle. The F
ourth Sign describes the railroad tracks. The Fifth Sign is a clear image of our
electric power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign describes concrete highways
and their mirage-producing effects. The Seventh Sign foretells of oil spills in
the ocean. The Eighth Sign clearly indicates the "Hippy Movement" of the 1960s.
The Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. A
ccording to Australian eye-witnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.
Another Hopi prophecy warns that nothing should be brought back from the Moon -obviously anticipating the Apollo 11 mission that returned with samples of luna
r basalt. It this was done, the Hopi warned, the balance of natural and universa
l laws and forces would be disturbed, resulting in earthquakes, severe changes i
n weather patterns, and social unrest. All these things are happening today, tho
ugh of course not necessarily because of Moon rocks.
The Hopi also predicted that when the "heart" of the Hopi land trust is dug up,
great disturbances will develop in the balance of nature, for the Hopi holy land
is the microcosmic image of the entire planet; any violations of nature in the
Four Corners region will be reflected and amplified all over the Earth.
In 1959, a six-man delegation of traditional Hopi leaders led by the late spirit
ual leader, Dan Katchongva, traveled to the United Nations Building in New York
to fulfill a sacred mission in accordance with ancient Hopi instructions. Becaus
e of their prophetic knowledge, the Hopi leaders felt it was time to go east to
the edge of their motherland, where "a house of mica" [The United Nations buildi
ng] would stand at this time, where Great Leaders from many lands would be gathe
red to help any people who are in trouble."
They were to go when the motherland of the Hopi and other Indian brothers were a
bout to be taken away from them and their way of life was in danger of being com
pletely destroyed by evil ones among the White Men and by some other Indian brot
hers who were influenced by the White Race. This is a clear and present danger:
the betrayal of Indian-U.S.A. treaties, land sales, and coal and uranium mining
are destroying the Hopi land and its people -- and all other peoples and lands,
in eventual effect...
According to prophecy, at least one, two or three leaders or nations would hear
and understand the Hopi warnings, as "It is told that they too should know these
ancient instructions". Upon hearing the message of the Hopi, they would act imm
ediately to correct many wrongs being done to the chosen race -- the Red Man who
was granted permission to hold in trust all land and life for the Great Spirit.
This prophecy would seem to have failed. Hopi prophecy also declares that the d
oors of the "Glass House" would be closed to them. This was the case at first, t
hough they have delivered their message to the United Nations Assembly since the
n:
"When the Great Leaders in the Glass House refuse to open the door to you when y
ou stand before it that day, [Repeated, again in 1993] do not be discouraged or
turn about on the path you walk, but take courage, determination, and be of grea
t rejoicing in your hearts, for on that day the White Race who are on your land
with you have cut themselves from you and thereon lead themselves to the Greates
t Punishment at the Day of Purification. Many shall be destroyed for their sins
and evil ways. The Great Spirit has decreed it and no one can stop it, change it
, or add anything to it. It shall be fulfilled!"
On August 7, 1970, a spectacular UFO sighting was witnessed by dozens of people
and photographed by Chuck Roberts of the Prescott (Arizona)"Courier". This sight

ing occurred after a "UFO calling" by Paul Solem and several Hopi Indians. This
sighting was interpreted by some Hopis as being a partial fulfillment of a certa
in Hopi prophecy given by the Great Spirit Maasau and inscribed on Second Mesa,
warning of the coming of Purification Day, when the true Hopi will be flown to o
ther planets in "ships without wings."
Hopi prophecy also tells us that there will be a mass migration of Indians north
ward from Mexico and Central and South America. The migration will be led by a 1
30-year old Indian named Etchata Etchana. The movement will come after the huge
fire and explosion that will herald the advent of the True White Brother.
According to Hopi belief, the survivors of the Great Deluge thousands of years a
go split up into four groups that moved north, south, east and west. Only one gr
oup completed their journey -- to the North Pole and back -- under the guidance
of a brilliant "star" in which the Great Spirit Maasau traveled. When he landed,
he drew a petroglyph on Second Mesa, showing a maiden (with the traditional "bu
tterfly" hair arrangement) riding in a wingless, dome-shaped craft. The petrogly
ph signified the coming Day of Purification when the true Hopi will fly to other
planets in "ships without wings."
The prophecy also warns that there will be three divisions among the Hopi The fi
rst division was in 1906 between the Traditionalists and the Modernists. The Tra
ditionalists were forced to leave Oraibi and move to Hotevilla. The second divis
ion took place in the wake of the spectacular appearance of UFOs in August, 1970
.
PROPHECY ROCK
Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symboli
zes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is:
The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand
represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical
line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. Th
e point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.
The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow p
ath of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white m
an's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the
coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cr
oss represents the continuous Path of Life.
The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past
three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some
of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour
.
The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (
World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent
the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother.
The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for
people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates
. The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great P
urification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit
returns. And the Path of Life continues forever...
The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corn
ers area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent

the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the
Great Spirit.
The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of h
umanity.
